The Ice SuDnlY.

Ice weighs, as ordinarily packed, about
fifty pounds to the cubic foot. Estimating
at the rate of 100 pounds per day for the
ordinary consumption of farm dairy, one
ton would be used up in twenty days \
ton and half per month is a moderate
supply for dairy farm. There ought
always to be full calculation made for
wastage, and about four times rs much ice
stored as will be used, unless the ice house
is of the very best construction.
If drain tiles can be laid at the bottom
below the base, to take the drainage, good
use can be made, says The Dairymnn, Of
the ice water that will flow throll h them.
Thus great saving of ice may be effected
and efficient cooling secured. This will
enable the dairyman to have cool tank
for deep setting ut n minimum expense.

Messenger Boys Of New York.

Tho messenger companies of great cities
like New York arc great institutions. They
run your errands, accomplish the carriage OF
your bundles, 90 odd jobs i'll very official
ard, it may be added, very perfunctory and
unsatisfactory manner. Tho trouble Is, q
boy will be e boy. He will loitcr, play pitch
and toss i'll tho alleys, smoke surreptitious
cigarettes and "bilk" the company that en-
ploys him in every way he can. The largest
messenger companies in the world are in this
city. Tho American District company,
shic,, is kind OF attachment OF tho West
ern Union Telegraph company, employs some
1900 boys. Tho Mutual District Telegraph
company about 900, and in the holiday sea-
son perhaps 200 or 300.
These boys Gre to be seen everyw here; they
ere very pervasiye, very ubiquitous. On q
grent day in tho Stock Exchange tho mcsscn-
ger boys are in demand. The large brokers,
whose transactions in single day sometimes
amount to 100, 600 shares of stock, require for
the execution OF SO enormous volume Of
business great many errands; there nre
comparisons to be made, deliveries Of stock
to b. accomplished, reports to customers,
checks to b. certified, and on these heavy
days it is the custom for tho larger houses to
recruit their army Of regular clerks with q
squad or two Of blue uniformed messengers
from the nearest station. 1t is amazing how
expert the littlo fellows become in all the
minutia of stock operations. What is a
sealed book, an unknown tongue to tho gen
erality even of city residents, grows to be
rs familiar to these juvenile inercuries as the
alphabet. They tell in Wall street many
stories OF their prcternatural quickness.-

BEECHER's SUCCESSOR.
Rev. Charles A. Berry to Preach
at Plymouth,

NEW YORK, Nov. At is virtually
settled that Rev. Charles A. Berry, of
WOlverhampton Eng, is to be called
to Plymouth church as pastor. The adj
viSOry committee of the chnrch having
charge of the subject of a successor to
Mr.. Beecher met last evening and unan-
imouSly voted TO recommend the Selec-
ton of Mr.. Berry. While this does not
bind the church, there is little doubt
but that the choice of the committee will
he ratified. inasmuch as the sentiment
in the church is strongly set in the same
direction: so strongly indeed that the
committees action is virtually dictated
by the universally expressed desire.
The remarkable feature of Mr.. Berry'S
preaching has been its acceptability to
all. and the action of the advisory
committee is simply a recognition
of the fact that the approval of Mr..
Berry is unanimous and enthusiastic.
There is no divided sentiment, and some
of the members have almost been afraid
20 let Mr.. Berry get out of the country
without being called. So far as his pull
pit presence and utterances were con-
cerned, the satisfaction of the congrega-
ton was complete. He showed clearly
that his thinking was strongly on the
lines and in the direction of Mr.. Beech
er'S, while there was not the 81 ghtest
indication of initiating Mr.. Beecher.
This was great pleasure to the congre-
CATION. for what was NEST decidedly not
wanted in Mr. Beecher'S Successor. who
ever he might be, was an attempted inn
itation of the great original which Ply
mouth church recognized gratefully it
had had, and recognized regretfully it
never could have again. Mr.. Berry is
now thirty-five years old. He took his
first charge at the age of twenty-five.

DELAWARE'S ELECTION.
1t Has Resulted in a Victory 70
Secretary Bayard.

WILMINGTON, Del, Nov. AL
though the full returns of the vote cast
for the constitutional convention last
Tuesday have been made, it would
seem that the total vote cast in favor of
issuing the call will fall short of the
vote required by the act submitting the
question to the people. The vote has
an Unexpectedly close one. The result
of the vote is an undOubted triumph
and victory for Secretary Bayard, who,
if the call for the convention had re-
ceived the requisite majority of votes,
would have had to temporarily vacate
his seat in the cabinet to take part in
the deliberations and proceedings.
The Republicans were unit i'm favor
of a convention, as they believe
that constitutional revision giving rep
reSentatiOn according to population
would add to the voting strength of
their party. The Gray salisbury demon
stratiOn in opposition to the success of
the measure was dictated by like pOliti-
cal reasons, although if the Democratic
ascendancy in the state were jeOpardiZed
by the result of the vote, no political
change could grow out of the cOnven-
tons proceedings for two years, and
the approaching presidential contest
would cut no figure either one way or
the other. A larger number of Demo
Gratis voted with the Republicans in
favor OF the call than was expected, and
their joint aggregate vote, as compared
with the total Democratic vote pOlled
against the convention, would indicate
that the large accession to its ranks pre-
dicted by the Republican party as likely
to follow constitutional change and re-
vision was largely matter of specula-
ton and conjecture.
